Turkey Dinner and Zipping... Oh and some Hannah Montana!

Wow! Week 4 just flew right on by! We had a great Thursday night campfire and sleepover. The Turkey dinner that was prepared was delicious and campers had a great time writing their own Native American picture symbol stories, scavenger hunting, and swimming. We even taught our sleepover campers a counselor bonding game called Stealth that took place between Indian Pipes and Ruth Coe units. Everyone was definitely tired out by the time we called lights out. I heard a couple of campers may have stayed up chatting into the morning hours, but everyone was up and to breakfast on time! Our performer of the week, Catskill Puppet Theatre put on a cool show about Hiawatha and after showed the campers how the puppets move and how they do some of the voice effects. It was really neat to see what goes on behind the scenes.

I (along with several other staff members) am now officially zipline trained. I took my first ever zip at Camp Sacajawea at 5 pm and it was so exciting! It was definitely nervewracking to step off the platform, but once you do it is a fantastic experience. If your troop gets a chance to do a zip line program I highly recommend it! We are soon to be incorporating zip line into the camp week so look forward to it. I know we'll be zipping during the 3 night overnight, so there's even another incentive to join this first ever overnight camp week!

This weekend coming up in Family Camping so if any parents/grandparents/family members/friends are jealous of their campers and all they get to do at camp please do not hesitate to sign up! You will get to participate in all the same activities your campers does during their time at camp.
